- Lot Description
Al Barnes (1937-2015)
A Meeting at the Point
signed "BARNES" lower right
oil on canvas, 24 by 36 in.
titled on back
Barnes was a Texas artist born into a fishing family. He grew up near South Padre Island, and always knew he would be an artist. He attended the University of Texas to study art, and went on to sail and crew on boats. He travelled the coasts of North and Central America and was an avid waterman. In the pursuit of his art, he journeyed extensively, learning about local wildlife and watercraft. He writes, “I prefer to start out with the sea or landscape and see what appears in it along the way. Sometimes birds fly in, sometimes boats float in, sometimes both.”
Barnes was a National Artist of the Year for Ducks Unlimited and is a current member of the American Society of Marine Artists. He has exhibited at the National Wildlife Museum in Jackson, Wyoming and the Southeastern Wildlife Exhibition in Charleston, South Carolina, in addition to many other locations, both in group shows and solo exhibits. His works are found in the permanent collections of the Lee Yawkey Woodson Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin, the Coca Cola Company, and the Museum of Natural Science in Houston, Texas, among others.
